Winemaker's Reserve Shiraz

First Creek Winemaker’s Reserve Shiraz captures the essence of First Creek style, with fruit hand harvested from prominent vineyards across the Hunter Valley and New South Wales.

The grapes are crushed and destemmed into open top fermenters. Cold soaking is used to release colour and tannins. Fermentation occurs with hand plunging multiple times a day for around one week.

The wine is pressed to new and seasoned oak casks to mature. Prior to bottling, it is gently fined and filtered.

Rich red, First Creek Winemaker’s Reserve Shiraz is medium bodied with earthy dark fruit flavours supported by fine velvety tannins. Cellaring potential is 12 years.
